    There might not be an easy answer. At least not for an 8" KMR rail.

    Another option might be to go with a 12.5" barrel and a 10" BCM. This probably wouldn't be as outright nifty as a 9" upper but it would be much easier to assemble.
    “The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles."

I still might just do this route but it might be pretty fun to have something short and light in 300BLK instead.

    If you can wait it out a month and a half at the most... 2A will have a 7" Solution that matches the upper on the BALIOS-lite

    Not sure how much magnesium is in the alloy but I would be careful sawing and grinding on it. Quick lesson.... How to burn down a workshop... You fabricate a couple of parts for you drag bike out of some magnesium you came across... The work involved sawing and grinding... You then put a piece of steel in you vise and hit it with a sidearm grinder... Sparks from the steel ignite the magnesium grit on the bench... last step... attempt to put the fire out with a water hose!!

    You would be much better served by buying an 8" rail.
    Why do the loudest do the least?

    It's no big deal. My local handy guy hacksawed and filed a 10" for my 7.5" fun gun. Can't remember what I blacked the edge with. Does it really matter if you have to touch up occasionally? I think it looks great with the KX5.

    The beasts of modernism have mutated into the beasts of postmodernism—relativism into nihilism, amorality into immorality, irrationality into insanity, sexual deviancy into polymorphous perversity. And since then, generations of intelligent students under the guidance of their enlightened professors have looked into the abyss, have contemplated those beasts, and have said, “How interesting, how exciting.”

    Yeah, that works well. Most folks with the AAC 9" go with a URX3 8.0 but I like the KMR/NSR rails.

    Cutting Down a BCM KMR?

    I do plan to cut my 9", but I'm also not in a hurry.

    I've been thinking I'd go with a non straight cut- preserve a solid edge. I was thinking Dremel followed by file then sand.

    My objective is to allow the ports on my MAMS to clear the rail.
